International Ozone Day :
** Ozone is a colourless gas with most of its part present in stratosphere. We all are aware of its importance in protecting us from harmful ultraviolet radiations emitted by the Sun.

** We should also make ourselves and our fellow citizens aware about its depletion that is caused due to various substances like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).

** Its preservation has become an issue of great concern worldwide. The United Nations General Assembly designated September 16th as the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer.

** This day is observed to create awareness about the importance of ozone layer for us and for the environment. The theme for the celebration of the anniversary is supported by the slogan, “Working towards reducing global – warming HFCs under the Montreal Protocol”
